SHOCKING DEATH.
A Man Crushed Between Moving Car
and a Bank of Earth.

SANTA Rosa, September 6th-An Italian
named Ralph Gurrie met with horrible ac-
cident which resulted in his death, at Guernes
& Murphy's logging camp, near Guerneville.
Sunday. According to the most accurate re-
ports received, Gurrie, with number of his
fellow -countrymen, was standing upon an
empty flat car which was moving SLOWLY
through narrow defile between two steep
high banks. AT the narrowest point in the
pass he attempted to spring upon the bank
which was scarcely eight inches from the side
of the car, but slipped and fell
The space being too narrow to permit of the
passage OF his body, his legs were caught below
the knees between the bank and the side of the
car, the movement of which caused his body to
maintain whirling motion at velocity pro-
poItioDate with the speed of the car. His body
in its rapid revolutions resembled an euger as
1t sank lower and lower. His companions were
powerless to relieve him from his agony As the
auger-like motion continued it appeared as if
the internal organs were being crowded upward
and must find an outlet. Every drop of blood
seemed crowded into his head and neck the
veins swelling in great knots, the flesh chang
ing to dark blue and the eyes on the point of
bursting from their sockets As the wider and
frmer parts of his body near the shoulders
came in contact with the Car it acted like
wedge and stopped the train. His mangled
body was extricated with great difficulty and
brought to this city on the afternoon train and
taken to the County Hospital, where he died
soon after. Deceased was aged 81 years.

Mackay practically owns that negotiations have

Green. At these conferences the books, particu-

that the broad scheme of cable and telegraph
competition in the interest of the general public
will go the way of many smaller and earlier
enterprises. One thing which stands in the way
OF Mackay's turning over the properties to his
rival is the question of pride. Mackay does not

MORE INDIAN TROUBLES.
Some Danger of the Blackfeet Indians
Going on the Warpath.

BUTTE (Montana), September 6th.-A special
to the Miner from Calgary, Northwest Territory
says: Trouble is feared among the Blackfeet In
dians, About ten days ego an Indian was shot
at by white soldier for some trifiing cause and
seriously hurt. His tribe were much incensed,
and at one time it was thought they would at
tack his assaiIant. After a few days the
wounded Indian died, and the news was sent
through all the tribes. simultaneously another
Indian. named Deerfoot, capped from Jail here
and reached the reservation. The police de-
mauded his return, but the braves refused to
divElge his hiding place. Consequently on the
morrow two large detachments of mounted po-
lice, under Colonel Herchmer, will proceed TO
the reservation from here and Fort Mcleod
and effect Deerfoots capture. Another force
has been dispatched from Regina a reserve.
With the present excited state of feeling
among the Indians serious trouble is feared and
the residents of Calgary feel the most lively
alarm. The Blackfeet are the most powerful
tribe in the Northwest, aud would be terrible
foe if they went on the warpath. There is also
no doubt but If they break out other tribes, no
tably she Crees, will follow them on the war
path.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Mrs. FOrd's Unsuccessful Efforts to Find
Her Lost Children.

ICopylgit, 1887, by The California Associated Press
New YORK, September 6th.--[Special. THE
Pullman porter, .PoindeXter, was in Court in
Jersey City this forenoon charged with having
kidnapped three children of Mrs. Mary Ford Of
San Francisco. Mrs. Ford peddler named
Traphagen and Detective Clos testified. Moth
ing new was ELECTED, and the examination was
adjourned.
The police have no further theories to offer as
to the singular disappearance of the children,
but they are satisfied that Mrs Ford and
her children reached Jersey City, as
she says, at the same time. They have
sent to San Francisco to make further inquiries.
Mrs. Ford says that her tickets East were bought
for her by man named Bates, who is well
known in hotel circles in San Francisco. The
Jersey City police have requested the San
Francisco police to hunt him up. Tickets for
so long journey are all sold on contract, and
the names of those using them are written in
them by the agents selling them. The police
have request the Pullman Car Company to
search among the returned tickets TO see if
there is one among them passing Mrs Ford and
her family across the continent.
